tag search seems not to work.

tag search seems not to work.

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I am using GNU emacs 25.1.50 (compiled yesterday) and the latest org
version available in ELPA.

I really never used tag search as provided by the agenda. So today I
just copied the examples of
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.html



* TODO Buy clothes for wedding                    :wedding:important:errands:
 SCHEDULED: <2010-12-01 Wed>
 :PROPERTIES:
 :estimated-cost: 100
 :END:
 [2010-11-17 Wed 12:22]

 I need to look spiffy for the big day!

  - [ ] Suit
  - [ ] Tie
  - [ ] Shoes
  - [ ] Hat

 Possible stores to visit:
 
 | Store           | Location               | Miles away |
 |-----------------+------------------------+------------|
 | The Suit King   | 1000 E. Washington St. |        5.1 |
 | Mr. Haberdasher | 259 Western Rd.        |        7.2 |


Into an org file and run, as indicated 

C-m a
and then I searched for wedding,

However nothing was found, I expected, as in occur, a buffer showing me
all the tags matching my search criterion, but there was none.

What do I miss?

thanks

Uwe Brauer 

Some progress (was: tag search seems not to work.)

It seems that I have to add the file in which I am searching to the list
of agenda files (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24966333/emacs-org-mode-tags-not-found)
that however is not described in the manual nor is it intuitive.

Now I can search and find tags in headings, but I cannot find
properties, how do I find these?

thanks

I disagree.  The agenda is based on agenda files.  So it's clear that
the agenda-tag-search applies only to the agenda files.  And it's in the
manual in section (info "(org) Tag searches").

> Now I can search and find tags in headings, but I cannot find

* TODO Buy clothes for wedding
 :PROPERTIES:
 :estimated_cost: 100
 :END:

C-c a m estimated_cost="100"

finds the subtree.

Note the underscore instead of the hyphen.  '-' in the property name
breaks the search AFAICS.

See further (info "(org) Tag searches") which also has something about
searching for tags in the current buffer.

Well ok, I found the paragraph in question, you are right, 

    >> Now I can search and find tags in headings, but I cannot find
    >> properties, how do I find these?

    > * TODO Buy clothes for wedding

Thanks!

But, the point is: suppose I do not recall the exact content of that
property, so I would like to search for all PROPERTIES which contain
estimated_cost. How can I do that?

It seems that (org-entry-properties nil) is the command in question

What about just searching the text?

C-c a / :estimated_cost:
